Topic: DeviantArt hiding bulge (and bondage?) art, good time to archive at-risk art (with Wayback Machine)

Posted under Art Talk

(hope "Art Talk" is correct category for this)(if not, I can move)

It seems to be a good time to archive art (archive with Wayback Machine) at DeviantArt (that hasn't already been archived by Wayback Machine)
before someone notices an artwork has mature-or-whatever content and gets it hidden behind a
"This deviation has been labeled as containing themes not suitable for all deviants. Login to view".

edit: Wayback machine at https://web.archive.org/
e621 forum thread about archiving at https://e621.net/forum_topics/31378
(short version of thread:
1) be patient.
2) Check live version of URL to make sure it is available (ie. online), perhaps with your browser's "private window" feature (or Incognito or whatever is named in your browser).
3) After Wayback Machine gives you success message, suggest wait at least 30seconds and look at archive version (it might need more time for archive version to be viewable).
4) Archive only one image URL per minute. For webpage URL, suggest waiting at least 2 minutes after you archived previous URL.

They're censoring bulges? You know, the thing you see on fully clothed male humans in real life? My goodness.

I wouldn't bother with archiving the aforementioned examples (and artist for that matter) since they are all AI generated.

If you want to keep them up, you could upload them to e6ai.net.
